On Friday, the official website announced that Brazilian national team defender Juliano Belletti has extended his contract with the club.
"I will stay. Barcelona offered me a new contract and I accepted it," the Brazilian's words were quoted on the website.
There were rumors circulating that J. Belletti, who scored the winning goal in last year's Champions League final against the Arsenal team in May, would move to the Milan club.
J. Belletti has Italian citizenship, but he insists that he has no intention of leaving Barcelona.
"I know nothing about the rumors related to the Milan team, it's a lie, don't pay attention to it," the player said.
"Barcelona made me an offer, which I accepted. Next week, my brother (note: the footballer's brother is also his agent) will come to Barcelona to arrange everything," J. Belletti added.
